Part of the Maudsley Hospital, Denmark Hill, Camberwell, south London

Here, a modern building has replaced the central villa of a group of three. On the left is the turning for De Crespigny Park. The Maudsley together with King's College Hospital occupy a significant area of Camberwell.
The Maudsley was founded in 1907, partly with private money, for the London County Council as a mental health hospital. "The Maudsley continues to provide in-patient and community mental health care to local people in Southwark and Lambeth [boroughs] and nationally across the UK. It is also a contributor to both psychiatric research and the training of mental health care staff." (Wikipedia). Decades ago my wife's mother, dear woman, went down with dementia and was cared for at the Maudsley until she died, in her eighties.
